(00:28):
York, Upstate New York. It'scalled Port Shows. Baby, I've been
watching General Hospital my whole life.Blame my mom for that lifelong addiction.
Yep, darn Luke and Laura,damn it. That's how it started.
Appreciate you tuning in. We'll breakthis podcast down into simple segments as we
broadcast live. Yeah, we're atthe Metro Court. Hi, Carle Hi.

(00:56):
Yeah you too good to see.Oh. We break this podcast down
into some easy segments. Are supereasy things I love, things I hate,
some stuff in between, some hottakes, some predictions. Be joined

(01:18):
by a new the newest member ofMan and Soap Podcasts. He is Michael.
We call him the newbie. Wehear his opinion through it. He's
only been watching General Hospital for likethree months. So it's always good to
have a fresh perspective, and Ialways find that very interesting. So all
right, things I love, Ijust want to get into it right now
because there were so many great scenesthis week. I love the Monday scene,

(01:41):
Michael telling Willow, Hey, theMetro courtpool is the place to be
this summer. I said that lastweek. I think Michael is listening to
the podcast. They were at it, the new cool hit place in Port
Charles. Michael had a burger.There was meat on the set of General
Hospital. I thought everyone was avegetarian with all those boring iceberg salads.

(02:05):
No, Michael had a burger.You only ate half of it. I
noticed the weird things. I willpoint out stuff. If you're near to
the podcast. I'm I'm a nerd. I point out the sets, the
little attention to details, the thingsthat I like. But I do like
the new hip place in Port Charlesand and DJ spinning, Josh, Dax,

(02:28):
Dex what's his name, Dex,the Dex Dx Dex. Thank you,
Toby Johs and Dex having their date. There's the new spot. So
many great scenes. I want tostart off Elizabeth, Jason and Finn.
What a scene Finn getting hammered ontequila again at the bar. That guy
drinks more tequila than anybody I've evermet. His hangovers must be brutal.

(02:52):
He takes the girl home. Ilove the scene Elizabeth walks in. If
you remember, it ended on lastFriday, that way Monday, I love
and they get picked up on Mondayand lo and be old who walks in
Jason to the rescue telling Finn don'tgo near her. I was like,
WHOA, what a great scene,great music, great drama. You know,

(03:19):
we don't get a lot of thosescenes throughout, you know, the
week, so we love when thosesnapshots occur, right, those are great
scenes that we just take in.That was a great scene. This week.
Finn is clearly on the decline.I have a question regarding Elizabeth that
I will propose here in just alittle bit. But that was a great

(03:44):
scene. I absolutely love that scene. I love Tracy and Stella's friendship.
I love Tracy Cordmain's redemption tour.You remember she was nasty to stell in
the beginning, and now they're onthe bench. They have this bond.
Tracy has come full circle. JaneElliott for the Emmy Best Actress for sure

(04:05):
in her future she has been.She's just been a scene stealer with her
acting. And I like her redemptiontour. I just like her coming full
circle. You know, her makeoveron her character. I think Gregory kind
of laid that foundation down for herand she's run with it. And Jane
Elliots done a great job. Ilove Tracy and Stella's friendship. I love

(04:26):
those park scenes. I know GeneralHospital must get like a licensed to film
there every week for week or twoduring the summer, and now we're in
it. It is summer in PortCharles. What a great scene there that
we had with them earlier in theweek. I love the Heather and Curtis
scene. I love Heather. Lauramay be taking her case and maybe getting

(04:49):
a retrout, and I just loveHeather. I love her her and Curtis.
She goes, you gotta name hotstuff. She tells Curtis, you
got a name, hot stuff.I love that scene. I love Heather.
That woman that plays her is amazing. I thought that was a really

(05:13):
good scene her. She is sogood. She's gonna be free and I'm
gonna tell you why coming up inminutes, because General Hospital we're missing something.
We're missing something here for the summer. We'll get to that in just
a few minutes. I want toget back to that Elizabeth, Finn and
Jason scene too, so good withElizabeth dropping the keys in the tequila glass,

(05:40):
just making a statement in that scene. I'm gonna make it a point
to get to that yet. Yeah, I had to get to that.
You gotta name hot stuff. Ilove Heather. Heather is so good.
I am loving TJ, Molly,Christina Blaze. Ah, we got baby

(06:02):
drama for the summer in Port Charles, Christina, you see her loud?
What are my options here? IfTJ and Molly break up? You remember
the episode earlier in the week,Blaze going, you know what a part
of me wishes this was our baby. Well, guess what I think it's

(06:25):
gonna happen. I really do weneed that drama. And if you're new
to the podcast, I don't breakdown. I don't do it episodically.
That's just not what I do.I think it's boring. I'll let other
podcasts, God bless them, letthem do that. Okay. We just
kind of give an overall picture andthen gets a little bit easier that way.

(06:45):
Instead of reviewing every episode, youknow, so I love the Drew
and Nina hate sex. It's sogood. It's so good. Their chemistry
is great. Nina watching Drew andWiley by the pool, and she's got
it for Drew clearly. I likethis version of Drew. He's a little

(07:08):
bit more mellow, where it's notlike he's so amped up, like he's
a cokehead is normally Drew's like he'sdoing rails all night. I like him
and Nina together. At first,I thought, well, I like it's
a cheap summer fling and the butI don't know. Now I'm starting to
wonder if are they potentially I'll askthis, are they potentially a leading couple,

(07:34):
Drew and Nina because Drew doesn't haveanybody. Drew's done done with Carly
and Nina and Valentine are done.Could be a couple alert? I mean,
you know, I don't know.They clearly have great chemistry. Nina.
I loved her hair last week,kind of way put it way she

(07:54):
had like curly. She looked great, She looked really good. I thought
that that was a great scene.Earlier in the week, Sonny and Christina
the apology scene. Boy, whenSonny gets in his feels and his voice
crack. It's so good, right, like he gets you in his fields.

(08:16):
He loves his daughter. He doesnot want Christina to be afraid of
him. I like he wanted Blazeto be part of the conversation. Everyone's
welcoming Blaze in Christina's life. Reallygood. Will Christina ultimately forgive him?
I don't know. I mean hegiving her that Mickey Mouse doll will go
a long way, because that's whata dad does. And he gave her

(08:39):
that Mickey Mouse doll. Or shetold Blaze, that's the dad I love.
That's my father. I love him. So I don't know. Happy
belated Father's Day, by the wayto all the great dads out there.
My dad used to watch General Hospitalon his lunch break he'd go from the
mines or before he'd go to work. Rather, my father always had because
my mom had it on and mydad got looped into it. So I

(09:00):
know some fathers out there watching GH. Oh what else did I I mean?
I a lot of stuff last weekwas so good? How about Giovanni,
Bop, Buddy boot, Putty,Bau Mary whatever his name is?
Right? My grandfather's name is JordanaldBashadoni. So I'm all down with the

(09:20):
Italians. How about that scene inAva's gallery playingnessa dorma God, that was
a great scene. He gets intoit. I think the kids really playing
the violin, which makes it evenbetter. Trena was just falling in love
with him immediately Ava was blown away. I thought that was a great scene.
We had great scenes last week.It may have been the best week

(09:41):
of scenes, isolated scenes that we'vehad in a long time. Like,
I loved it. There were alot of them. I call those snapshots.
You know, we don't get alot of those, but I love
that I did. I thought,I like Geo. Are he and Trina

(10:05):
gonna get together? I don't knowthey're gonna be neighbors. I love that.
Of course, the Quartermains have anapartment above their garage. I want
the apartment. I don't know whatthe rent would go for, not that
the Courtermins really need the money,but I like it. I hang out
there, have Sasha cook me upsome food. Yeah, I hang out
with Cody in the stables. Yeah, give me that apartment again. I'm

(10:30):
a nerd when it comes to thesets, so I like when there are
new sets and I know like GeneralHospital will use those sets, like the
new hipster Burger place, the newapartment for Jos and Trina. I don't
get that one little coffee place wherepeople go. It's that little nook.
You get some scenes from there.I don't know if it's a tea room

(10:52):
or if it's a private room.It's not in Bobby's. But do you
know what I'm talking about? Thatone they every once while they have the
scene was just like a weird booth, like like I'm in a h oh.
I don't know, it's just it'sjust an odd it's an odd room.
I feel like I'm in a meltingpot. You know, in the
melting pot, you have private rooms, you don't make you food. Have
you ever been in a melting potrestaurant? This whatever, this two seater

(11:18):
places, it's very melting pot.We haven't seen that in a while.
So I like some of the newsummer sets. I'm excited. I am
loving a lot. That was justa really gosh, that was such a
great week of of scenes. I'vegot so many notes Heather to Curtis,

(11:39):
you gotta name hot stuff. Sogood, so good. I was super
engaged this week Uh, things Ihate. I don't hate a lot right
now. I hate Jason's tattoo,that tribal tattoo. What was Steve Burton

(12:00):
thinking there? And they have tomake reference to it when people are seeing
Jason for the first time, right, Yeah, you gotta make reference to
any What happened there? What wasthat? You know? And apparently I
don't know it's some prisoner thing.I don't know what's going on. But
Steve Burton got a huge sleeve andI don't know. I don't know how

(12:26):
I feel about it. Uh.Other than that, no, I don't
really, I'm not. There's nota lot of hate in my heart.
A lot of love heading into thesummer. Oh, Finn's creepy expressions when
he like kisses Elizabeth or when theydid the flashback scene after he knew he
lost her because he was drinking andbringing home some weird drunk from the bar,
he has this weird expression like he'sso serious, like lighting up.

(12:50):
It's kind of creepy. Having saidthat, Uh, he's in full downward
spiral and his scenes have been reallygood between him and Chase, him and
Elizabeth, him and Violet, himand Tracy, him and Alexis. There's

(13:11):
gonna be a lot of Finn forthe summer, so uh, buckle up
for that. I don't really lookat my hate page. Michael how much?
Two items? You see that?I am? I? Yeah,
two items. There's a lot oflove going on here. So we bring

(13:35):
in Michael the Newbie. Michael's beenwatching General Hospital for about three months.
We bring him in every week.He's new to the show. Are you
getting wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow? Yes? I am. I really want to
ask you questions while you're on medication? Are you going to be on all
sorts of good stuff? I don'tknow because I'm not being quite the dad
gum. It would be so goodto ask you. I would love to

(13:56):
do the same while here. Love, I love you, love yourself.
So Michael the Newbie made his debutlast week. It's like it's Pride month
and I really want Geo to takeyour shirt off or them to be gay.
Yeah, he's not sorry to bringnow now Well, Elizabeth's kid.

(14:20):
We talked about this and g His very l B g QT friendly.
Yeah, they're very like they're storylines. They've embraced it. Christina and Blaze
Brad you don't remember Brad before you'redead, you would have loved all these
storylines, all of these great storylines. So I think Elizabeth's kid what's his

(14:41):
name, the young kid, notthe kid that's always getting picked on.
You don't like Jake, now Idon't, Okay, So who cares?
The storylines will write themselves. Well, what's your take with why don't you
like Jake? He just seems likea little bit Jake is a little bitch.

(15:05):
He kind of is like he's alwayslike you remember him, like wanting
to turn in Danny for vaping.Yeah, that's right when you started watching
Little Bitch. Oh, we can't. We can't because we can't. You
can starve because the cars. Yeah, and that couldn't know me and like
shut up living with little Please,God, you're not wrong if I okay,

(15:28):
So from a newbie's perspective, Yeah, if I had to ask you,
who you think the three most popularcharacters are, who this show is
based around in the first three months? Who do you think from a new
perspective, what story Who does GeneralHospital really embrace as the face faces of
the show? Can you give methree faces of the show and I'll tell

(15:52):
you if I think you're right orwrong. Sonny bing bing bing bing bing
bing bingo. Yep, yeah,there's number one. You got that.
You got that? Yeah, forsure? So you you you think it's
you? You say Sonny, yep, you know, probably Nina. You
know, I don't know. I'mgoing to give you the bell for Sonny

(16:18):
delayed. Well, we're on alow budget here in the studio. I'm
gonna give you Sonny. Okay,but so far, well you've had a
lot of Nina over the first threemonths off you're watching, so okay,
you got Sonny. And are yousaying Sonny and Nina together or the Sonny
and Nina separately? Are the faces? You think they're separate? Separately?
All right? Give me a third? Then that you think is like if
you had to pick, probably basedon the last like three weeks, like

(16:45):
I would say, Ben, Okay, you know what, I think that's
fair. Yeah, I think that'sfair. I can't find the bell,
so it's it's just we're on abudget, yeah, I think right now.
So you say Sonny, Nina,and Finn. That's interesting from a
newbie perspective, those are your bigthree. Okay, I think Sonny for
sure, Carly is a big andyou're new. So again it's interesting to

(17:08):
get your take on things. Igo, Sonny and Carly are definitely and
together two whether they or not.Jason is back. See you don't remember
Jason, So what's your take onJason. I'll okay, I wanna.
I'm gonna ask you a couple sinceyou're so, I'm gonna I'm gonna name
drop a couple characters. I wantyou to give me the first thing that
comes to mind, Jason Eric Okay, okay, Elizabeth, Mom controlling,

(17:41):
Okay, okay, okay, Wow, controlling, Okay, Sonny Sonny first,
what's the first thing that comes tomind? Sonny? Okay, villain
that's the first thing. Wow.You see you're not at the point that
where you love Sonny. I loveSonny, but you do love Okay.
It seems like THEA and of Portuge. Okay, Well, I got based

(18:02):
on like what U TJ's exposed exosivething about him, Like I think he
is the villain of TCHS. Yeahhe was because he was going on about
uh to Molly that Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna get to the those I've
got a hard take, hot takeon Dylan's but okay, okay, okay,

(18:26):
So but you still think Sonny NinaFinn that that'd be pretty accurate and
yeah, okay, okay. Doyou have any observations from last week from
a newbie's perspective that you'd like toshare things you want to see happen,
things that you liked well from anewbie's perspective, Go the floor is yours
that I was talking about TJ Okay, he's a bore and Molly you ready

(18:49):
they are snoozers together? Do younot like him at all? I don't
like him either. I think,yeah, I don't know if it was
like my first time like seeing himlike she interacting with them, but like
just him and like, oh,like you have to get uh what's your
name about? Way if I'm Sonny, oh Christina, I know. See

(19:12):
he's controlling. And remember Christina saidthat when she blew up a Blaze when
Blaze told Molly that she you know, Sonny got in and Christina's member she
because you don't know how they are, they're controlling. Go TG is already
on it now. Yeah he is, like Okay, I like, I
don't, I don't. I'm startingto not like that, serkey, that

(19:34):
storyline who that that's story line witha Christina because it's like just so interesting
sexy, is like the way peoplewant to go. But if t J

(19:57):
and Molly wanted to have it babyso bad, they could have got no,
they could have considered adoption. Wellthey didn't, and it's Portals and
it's Christina enough and we got drama. And that's only gonna get good because
I can guarantee you now t Jand Molly you're not having that baby.
That baby's going to Christina in Blaze. It could be the drama of the

(20:19):
town. Yeah, well we needa couple weeks. Well, that's what
we need. We need some hotsummer drama. This is your first summer
in Portraals. Right, yep?Did you say hi to Carly? I
see? Do you see g overby the pool? We all broadcasting from

(20:41):
the natural? Any last any otherobservations from this week? I don't.
I don't think so that was likethe only thing that was bothering me since
like Wednesday. Okay, okay,I can see it is yeah, all
right, all right, Well Iappreciate your your candid dialogue as always this

in Port Charles. I love it. I love it, I love it,
love it all right. So andas we all ways do we do
things in between? Right? WillElizabeth ever find love? Would Elizabeth and

(21:57):
Jason could they reach kindle? Idon't know. They had that scene in
the pool Jason has socks at hisfeet in the pool. That was very
rare. I get a drink there. Uh yeah, t J and Melley
they're boring. Mac is Cody's dad. When Mac returns, well, Cody

(22:25):
finally disclosed that he is, youknow, he's his son. I'd like
to see that. I really havecome around to Cody, come around a
Stella too, by the way,more in between stuff. I used to
not like Stella. I like Stellanow a lot. Where's Marshall? I
don't know what's going on with him? And like Newby brought up villains,

(22:45):
Where are the villains? Where arethe villains? We don't have an Alcazar,
we don't have a fase On,we don't have a Victor and Elena
a Cyrus even asme esme, excuseme, where are the villains? Is
it really Valentine and Ava? Arethey really villains? Nubi said, son

(23:08):
he's a villain. Yeah, he'sa he's the mafia. But we don't
he's not a villain villain like let'ssays our faison alcause, where are the
villains? I love my villains ongh And if they do have villains lately,
all they're doing is rehabilitating them.Esme, was one of the best
villains we've ever had. Then wemade them and we all loved her when
she lost her memory. Now she'ssomewhere in the river in Paris, somewhere

(23:30):
floating around. She's alive and theywill bring her back. No one dies
Cyrus. They rehabilitated, have they? Where is he? Where is Cyrus
lately? Why are not taking advantageof him? I mean his whole religious
conversion could be could be a scam. They could, They could really milk

(23:52):
this. There's no villains. It'stime to bring back Victor. There's a
great time. Victor's dead though,but no one ever dies. Is Helena
dead? I don't know. Weneed a villain. I miss Julian Jerome.
Here's my random statement of the podcast. I miss Julia Joe Heather.

(24:18):
They're gonna rehabilitate her. She's gonnawalk again, walk free, I mean,
and be out in Port Charles again. Not with the hook. But
they need to use her because she'samazing. Her scenes are great. We
need villains and I don't see oneright now. I just don't. Man.

(24:41):
In SOB Podcasts, you can findus on Facebook, Instagram, Give
a light, give a follow,tell all your Port Charles friends to grasp
on and growth. Teather couple alertpossibly a new couple alert. What do
you think about Anna and Jack?Is the handsome Australian guy. They've got

(25:07):
chemistry. He could be a potentialvillain. I see something with Jack and
I don't know. They'll get himout of Pttonville. They'll find a way,
they'll get released on a you knowsomething, you know, mischarge or
something. But Jack could be agreat villain. He's good looking to him
and Anna have great chemistry, youknow. I don't know who's Anna's next.

(25:30):
I mean, we can't find anybodyfor Anna either. I thought Anna
and Valentine we're gonna be the nextsuper couple that blew up in my face.
Anna and Finn. That was weirdhim in his Kmodo dragon and this
is the whole thing, was weirdAnna. We can't find Anna and Jack.
They've got great chemistry, yeah,but we do need a villain,

(25:55):
and there is so much going onit is going to be an amazing summer
in Port. Charles Franco one ofthe great villains. Whoever fired Franco?
I hope that that writer is workingfor Public Access Television right now, like

(26:17):
writing something on Channel ninety eight inthe Greater LA Area whatever channel of the
Public Access TV. Worst decision everto get rid of Franco. My god,
some of the right they make someboneheads, I mean, write some
bonehead mistakes. But right now thingsare really good. Where's Nicholas? What's

(26:41):
the point? He's in Pentonville?So what they film? And then they
we get the random Nicholas and Avascene once every six weeks. What's the
point, like, get him backinto Port Charles on in a technicality or
something, bring him back into public. I don't understand that. I don't
understand Nicholas Marshall, Cyrus, Uh, you know? Where's Lucy ben?

(27:07):
And then I get it. Imean people dip in and they dip out
and they come back. But theNicholas storyline is a little perplexing to me.
But we need a villain. Whois the greatest villain ever? Is
it Alcazar? Mm's strong in Faison? Oh God, bring him back.

(27:32):
I know he's dead, but they'renever dead. Victor love Victor. So
bring the villains back. Yeah,so much to look forward to. It's
summertime. It's in Port Charles.It's happening. There's gonna be romance,

(27:56):
